Room 3's visit to the Suter Art Gallery

We saw an art exhibition of Uku Rere pottery.

These artworks were sourced from private and public collections throughout New Zealand



Esther taught us how to mold the clay and make people.


We had a lot of parents and adult helpers who came and helped us.










Here are our finished people. Don't they look fabulous!

We love Maths !

We have been learning to make teen numbers using cuisenaire rods and writing the number story. 




We love using mathletics as it helps us to work out our number facts in our heads.  We enjoy doing mathletics live where we race against other people in our class or even in other parts of the world!

We have successfully matched all the numbers up to 100 on the floor mat. Now we can read them and find them.

Growing seeds

When we were learning about how plants grew. We each  planted a bean seed in a yoghurt container. We observed what happened as we looked after and watered the seed. Most seeds grew into plants which was fantastic!

Some of Room 3 class activities during Term 1 2014

We think learning is Thumbs Up !

What a stunning looking class we have !

Our families came to see the swimming skills that  we had learnt over the summer . We are so lucky to have a beautiful school pool and Michelle who teaches us swimming skills.

In technology we made boats at home and tested them in our school pool to see if they would float. What fun we all had ! Look out for future boat designers and builders!

Learning can be fun as well as helping others!

During the week we were raising money for Volunteer Services Abroad we had a dress up day and what fun we had!
 We raised money for people who are less fortunate than we are. We have lots of resources, homes, food and opportunities to be very thankful for .







As part of our Recycling Topic we made  puppets or masks from paper bags.
